Might get another BUG, S&W 642. Sold one a while ago before I had a chance to get an ankle holster for it. So, before I purchase another one, I'd like to get some info. on which ankle holster you use, if you use one at all. Not a lot of places locally that sell them, so I can not try them on to see which ones I like. Thanks.

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago on a couple of forums, including this one. The most often suggested holster was the Renegade 500. I bought one and am very pleased with it. do a search on ankle holster in the revolver forum here and at THR for more info.

I don't remember the brand of mine, but I found that even with an air weight J Frame, that it cut off my circulation... made my foot go to sleep if I kept it tight enough that the gun didn't feel as if it were flopping around... a heavier steel gun would be even tougher...

Try the Galco Glove Ankle Holster - I have one for my Glock 27 and love it. I do plan on buying an Alessi Ankle one for my 642 - I see them on Ebay occasionally. I have heard great things about those as well.

I have the same model DeSantis rig in two sizes, medium for a Kel-tec P-11 and a bigger one for my Detonics. Not sure the model. It's all nylon with a thumb break, but does at least have fake lambswool under the gun. it also has an attachement for a support strap, which I've never needed.

As long as I keep it tight enough to not slide down to my ankle bone, it feels great. It's even secure when I take off running after my kids.
